Description

Learning about wine is important because while we learn about wine, we also learn about ourselves and each other. How to Taste Wine and Why! is an ideal class for all levels - experienced wine adventurers and wine lovers just starting their journeys. The goal of this two-hour one-night class is to help everyone understand and communicate what you taste and feel when you enjoy a glass of wine.

This is a Level 1 introductory course for beginners and enthusiasts. It assumes some exposure to wine but no formal wine knowledge. This program is appropriate for both consumers and professionals in all wine, food, hospitality and service industries.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

At the Boston Wine School, we are a 100% Wine Snob Free Zone. We believe that learning about wine and food involves learning about yourself, and we promise to challenge all our students to do that. Our goal is to help you understand deeply and communicate completely what you are experiencing when you are enjoying a glass of wine or a morsel of food.

Nestled in the middle of Rozzie Square, the store first opened one block away from its present location; “the place was small with a Mediterranean feel and it reminded me of a wine cellar.” In 2011, Solera moved to its current location overlooking the courtyard and surrounded by great restaurants and little shops. Like a fine wine, Solera has only gotten better with age. The shop just celebrated its 15th anniversary and has lived up to its motto as a Shrine to Wine. The store accommodates about 500 different wines and about 100 different craft beers from around the globe all of which are carefully selected by all the staff. Throughout the years, we have gotten to know the wine preferences of so many of our customers. A common phrase in the store is “you have never steered us wrong”. Roslindale residents make up 80 percent of the customers and the other 20% are people from adjacent communities such as, West Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, Newton and Brookline.
